For more than 275 years, Fort McClary has stood poised to protect the approaches to the Piscataqua River at the southern gateway to Kittery. Named for New Hampshire native Major Andrew McClary who died at the Revolutionary War's Battle of Bunker Hill, Fort McClary stands today as one of the state's most important historic forts that dramatically preserves evidence of military history and changes in military architecture and technology. Fort Foster, located on the southwest tip of Gerrish Island in Kittery, Maine, was acquired by the federal government in 1872, making this fort the last of the "old" forts that were built in the Portsmouth area. The Kittery Town Forest consists of 72 acres featuring two hiking trails. Rogers Park offers several trails that run along the wooded shore of Spruce Creek. The Rachel Carson Preserve, part of a 10 parcel system of conserved properties extending from Kittery as far north as Cape Elizabeth, protects areas of marsh and a fresh-water wetland totaling 4700 acres.

Kittery's Seapoint Beach is just a few miles south of York Harbor off Route 103. A 550-yard sandy crescent beach with gentle surf on the north side of a tiny peninsula, it is backed by a marsh, providing wonderful bird-watching. Nearby Crescent Beach, also backed by marsh, is the "local" beach, and is a great mid-stopping point on a winding bike trip along the coastline.
